I've been on Topamax for a few months now........this is the second time. The first time was in 2002-2004. I was up to 400mg for migraines & depression. It was supposed to do double duty. Well, I was stupid, to put it briefly. I couldn't remember anything. I would stop mid sentence because I couldn't think of the word I wanted to use. I lost a lot of weight, too much. I had needed to lose a little....baby weight. But I looked anorexic. So out to buy a new wardrobe. $$$ I lost a ton of hair!!!! So off it I went. The weight came back very fast....too fast I think. My friend says the same thing of her experience. THIS time I'm on 250mg.....no more than that, as per me. I was stupid for a little while, but it seems to have gone away for the most part. My hair is still falling out, so not much longer on this one for me. The reason I went back on it was for the weight loss ( and it does help the migraines). I was on some migraine meds that made me gain 40lbs over a 2 yr period(Abilify,Cymbalta). NOTHING could get off the weight. Not exercise, not diet. I've lost 21 so far, but my progress has slowed because of Wellbutrin...it makes me crave sweets. And my willpower is nil. lol So off the Wellbutrin I go. I also learned my nastiness could be from Topamax. I snap at the kids. Who knows which drug it's from! I also take Singulair. That's a story in itself. That one's gonna go too.
